《Plains Of Nebrasky-O》歌词

[00:00:05] have you heard about a country where the rivers run free,

[00:00:10] that's a place where i think you ought to go

[00:00:15] where the corn stands high, tall as the sky,

[00:00:20] on the great plains of old nebrasky–o.

[00:00:45] in school i read of men who died by the gun,

[00:00:49] but not of those who died by the hoe.

[00:00:54] the land has drunk the rains of many a farmer's blood

[00:00:58] now forgotten and buried long ago.

[00:01:04] where are the hands that plowed fields without sleep

[00:01:08] hands that saved a dying calf without rest

[00:01:13] where are the feet that walked down them hot dusty trails

[00:01:17] on their way to seek their fortunes going west.

[00:01:31] and where are the fathers who died in the dust

[00:01:35] and mothers who died hungry in the snow

[00:01:39] and where are the kids that watched the banks plow their houses down

[00:01:42] those are the things i guess my teaches never knowed.

[00:02:05] is there anybody left to walk a muddy mile

[00:02:11] is courage a word that's only said

[00:02:15] is it true them dusty days are days that never really were

[00:02:19] but are only tales in books to be read.

[00:02:25] you tell me drought hurt only corn and not men

[00:02:31] you smile and say hard times have gone away

[00:02:35] i guess i should listen to my city politician

[00:02:39] who keeps telling me these are better days.

[00:02:53] have you heard about a country where the rivers run free,

[00:02:57] that's a place where i think you ought to go

[00:03:01] where the corn stands high, tall as the sky,

[00:03:06] on the great plains of old nebrasky-o
